The film told the story about one veterinarian who was injured in one battle. After that he moved to a house, but everyone in that house was dying in extremely mysterious circumstances. What did he have to do to rescue all those unlucky people and find the way for himself?

Adrián García Bogliano ends up merely toying with the death-steeped concerns of his characters, and taking the furious and bitter perspective that powers the narrative's ponderous dramatic core for granted.

Less ambitious but more satisfyingly resolved than Bogliano's last effort, Here Comes the Devil, Late Phases is a reminder of how much monster movies rely on what happens when the monster's not on screen.
